Mistletoe growing on hawthorn.

It might be Muellerina eucalyptoides, which parasitises a range of exotics. It would help if there was a photo of the point of attachement to the host and nearby, the photo showing whether it has runners or not.

I originally posted a photo showing the runners because my other had too many confusing stems and twigs. My new photo taken a few days later shows the swollen attachment to the hawthorn and some runners. The best I could do without pruning.
